Check out that exhaust mounted turbozet! Thats genuis! why blow air into the engine when you can suck it out?

The Turbozet, it blows and sucks!

Yeah just interesting, I dont have any cooling problems, but I saw it on the Wheeler Dealer episode and it looked interesting. Would certainly stop corrosion of the waterpump over time for example.

i was reading some stuff at work about some new manufacturing processes for plate and bar heat exchangers where the internal surface is covered in little pyramid type dimples. This increases the surface area available for heat transfer, and when combined with a good coolant that minimises the formation of bubbles, the space and weight saved is amazing. Most applications seem to be in spacecraft and aircraft where space/weight is critical. If i was to look anywhere for fantastic new ideas this is the industry to go to. When i see the snake oil in F1 then i'll believe it.

It was a pleasure ausmini. I'll miss all you misfits and reprobates

sorry, i haven't read all your replies, and i only know Evans waterless coolant.
its no snake oil, it works. as far as i know it's used in smaller air planes since years.
advantages are: you don't need any pressure in the cooling system, it will stay clean, nothings like calcium to fall out, and last very long. why is the higher boiling point an advantage: because even if your temp gauge reads 90°C the temps close to the combustion chamber will be much higher. they can exceed the boiling point of water easily, forming a steam barrier, blocking heat from getting from the chambers to the liquid.
negative side: it's expensive, and some waterpumps don't like it and pump less volume than with waterbased stuff.

of cause it will not help with cooling systems that are blocked or undersized.

oh, and why are our engines running at temps that are lower that 100°C. because its impossible to control the temps with a waterbased coolant without much and expensive effort. and remember car makers like it cheap and easy

would i recommend it? no, if your satisfied with your currend coolant, stick with it.
